Ayub Chips Up Amid Speech Play
Arriving on the 4♦7♣J♦2♣10♦ river with around 20,000 in the pot, Terence "Big T" Clee checked from the big blind to Ali Ayub in early position.
The two players have been among the most talkative in the Yellow section today, and this pot was no different.
"Can you beat jack-ten?" Ayub asked Clee.
"No, I can't beat that," Clee responded.
"Can you beat ten-seven?" Ayub continued.
"If I can't beat jack-ten, I can't beat ten-seven," Clee replied.
"My hand is too good, I have to bet this," said Ayub as he slammed in 12,000.
"Now I'm worried about my flush," Clee stated.
"A flush is good, if you have a flush, just call," Ayub said.
"Is a jack good?" Clee asked next.
"I can't tell you that, I've already said too much," Ayub replied.
"What do you want me to do?" Clee finally questioned.
"Big T, it's the World Series of Poker. I want you to do whatever your heart tells you. Whatever you decide, I'm happy."
Clee then finally called off, but his J♠9♠ was no match for the J♥10♥ of Ayub, who had rivered two pair and took down the pot.
